You'd be welcomed, crash, that's for sure. Big group and pretty casual.
You would be a little heavier at the end of the day, though. I've gained only a couple of pounds by staying here in the city this Christmas holiday. I usually gain 6 or 7 when I'm in Southern California for several days and doing at least a couple of family holiday get-togethers.
My niece's paternal grandma makes enough tamales for a few weeks and freezes them; grandma got her one of those little hot/cold pack carriers that'll fit in her backpack and is sending some tamales home with her next weekend. Hope to lose a couple of pounds before they arrive because they're pretty irresistible, but it's gonna be hard to be good in Arizona for the quick New Year's visit. My older sister is an amazing cook (I think there's a sweet potato pie in my near future).
